To thank Mr. Majalis for his help and support.
Gus Majalis has raised a great deal of money for you in the past and for this re�election campaign. He is the owner of the second largest seafood processing plant in the country. He will be in Washington for the National Fisheries Institute Convention next week, and very much wanted a photo opportunity. Majalis will be bringing two or three other seafood processors.

Caribbean/Central America Action reception
Governor Graham, Members of the Board of Trustees of
Caribbean/Central America Action, the honorable Ambassadors
here from the Caribbean and Central America, Ladies & Gentlemen:
welcome to the White House -- and welcome to the beginning
of an exciting new enterprise.
Tonight marks the establishment of what I believe will
become a significant new effort to forge bonds of friendship
in a region of great importance to the United States.
Bob Graham has dubbed this new effort "Caribbean/Central
America Action". The key is action. All of us are determined -
to go beyond good words and good intentions. We are looking
for results and for lasting friendships -- the kind that -
make a difference in the lives of nations and individuals.

Caribbean/Central America Action represents a coming
together of two concerns: first, an understanding of the
vital importance of the entire Caribbean area; and second,
a recognition of the value of friendships among people as a
foundation for friendships among nations�-�_-;:::"-=--··-
--------__? ---
Let me say a few words about each of these concerns.
The United States is one of a great circle of nations
and peoples that are washed by the waters of the Caribbean
Sea. We are a Caribbean nation -- just as surely as we are �
an Atlantic and a Pacific nation.
Geographically, not only Puerto Rico and the u.s. Virgin
Islands but also Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and --
Florida are part of that circle. The cultures of the region
(jnlh� enrich each other -- as symbolized by the sounds of salsa
/Jiuj!c and regga� on the streets of New York and Washington and the
sounds of American jazz on radio stations in Kingston and

Caracas. The ties of kinship are strong. Our economic
links are growing -- bringing trade, jobs and investment.
And the area is highly important strategically as well. The
security of all its nations is intimately related to the -� ..:..�- -
independence of e�h of them. -
The waters of the Caribbean touch more than twenty
independent countries and more than a half dozen dependencies. -------
Except for Venez uela, Colombia, Mexico and the United States, -
--llekJ7;i!r the nations of the region are
Asmall.
The economies of the area are vulnerable to global
-----
inflationary pressures and volatile commodity prices.�is

These factors have created openings for Cuban adventurism,
sup ported by the Soviets. But we tend to misunderstand the -
threat of Cuba. Certainly, Cuba contributes to violence in
Central America and instability in the Caribbean. But the --

We are concerned about Cuba'sArole in the region. But =-
our overriding interest in the Caribbean and Central America
is not a response to Cuba or a function of East-West rivalry.
It arises from the values we share with our neighbors. -

Democracy is a vital force in the Caribbean islands.
In the ·Dominican Republic, the 1978 election led to the first
peaceful transfer of power from one political party to another -
in this century. In St. Vincent and St. Kitts/Nevis, recent
elections have confirmed the health of democratic institutions.

On the northern rim of the Caribbean, the United States

In ad�itiori tb our bilateral efforts, we have worked

the World Bank's Caribbean Group� which has sought to increase
regional cooperation. Multilateral assistance has increased
nearly fourfold -- from $110 million in 1976 to $400 million
in 1980.
In short, I have put a high priority on the Caribbean
and Central America. Our values and our concerns in and

the region.

energy. We can find \rlays to facilitate contacts and e�anges
and joint efforts.
And that is why we are here today.

M�ny of you have spent a good part of today discussing how
th'ese. three purposes can be achieved. Let me suggest two guiding
principles as you proceed.
----� • • ,.-. : J
- 12 -
First, diversity. Governor Graham has no desire to
control or direct all the activities of different u.s. -
organizations seeking to contribute �o improved relationships.
On the contrary, his idea is to energize every group and
community that wants to work with its counterparts. -
-
I hope that universities, churches, professional groups

exchanging soccer teams, building a community health center,
offering scholarships, providing training, jobs or investments.

Many of you have already given t � and thought and hard
work to these tasks. I am proud of you and of the work of
organizations like the Partners of the Americas, Sister ----- ---
Cities, and the Friendship Force. A mission on agriculture
to be headed by Dr. E. T. York is about to begin its work. I
hope that what these groups do will now be expanded and joined
by others.

The second principle is reciprocity. To succeed, this -
effort has to be two�way, three-way, many-ways. The tasks
· . . ' ·
and projects sl:)()uld be developed through mutual exchange. .. -::.---=-------..
we must listen if we are to �k. We must learn if we are
to teach. We must expect if we are to deliver. -
I have written to the heads of state in the region. I -
have spoken to many Americans about this �a. The response
has been enthusiastic. I believe the Caribbean area is ready.
People want to reach out to one another -- and Caribbean/ -
Central America Action can help. It does not involve any new
government spending. It does not involve the creation of any -::2-
vast new bureaucracy. Instead, it involves a new spirit of
mutual service and direct contact between individuals and .______.
private or�anizations.
Just as the Alliance for Progress was an important
statement fOr its time, so C/CAA can express the spirit of ---
- 14 -
our time. It can help mobilize the spirit of citizen p ublic
service for the 1980s, and it coul d become a model for other .....--
re gions.

MEMORANDUM FOR THE PRESIDENT
From: Charlie Schultze CL5
Subject: Growth of Revolving Credit
Recently (in a Washington Post interview March 29, and at the Congressional Briefing the evening of April 2) you referred to a tripling of revolving credit in the past 2 years. This is an overstatement. Although the availability of credit lines has grown dramatically, we have no numbers on that. The amount of revolving credit extended grew by 39 percent from 1977 to 1979. The total volume of revolving credit outstanding (extensions minus repayments) grew by 41 percent.
The table below gives numbers on the growth of credit.
Percentage Increases in Consumer Credit
Increase in extensions (use of credit) (year/year)
Total consumer credit Revolving credit only
Increase in debt outstanding (December/December)

The reserve requirement imposed by the Federal Reserve on increases in consumer credit outstanding applies primarily to revolving credit. Auto loans and other types of secured consumer credit are exempt.

Dear Mr. President;
P.O. Box 1142 Johnstown, Pennsylvania 15907
We again want to personally express our thanks for your concern and aid in the Flood Disaster of July 20, 1977 in the Johnstown area. Vle are very proud of the recovery that has and continues to take place. This strong ethnic area has ahrays prided itself in its work and strength and independence. We are doing the very best that we possibly can, but the problems continue and are compounded by the economic condition and climate of the country.
Our business community in the flood affected area is in deep distress. Though loans were available and given, it is virtually impossible to continue paying the SEA loans and any outstanding debts that were incurred before the flood. To try to meet the payments prices must go up, when prices go up, we lose business. It becomes and is a vicious circle for us. Over 62 businesses have closed their doors since the flood. Now each week there are continued closings and layoffs. The small business especially suffers. As you know, the small businesses are the real backbone of any economy. We need your help.
Title VIII of the Federal Disaster Act of 1974 provides assistance that we despertly need. The Congress has never funded this portion of the act that is so desperatly needed. Without this, or help of this nature we are doomed in the Johnstow·n area. Please help us.
We would be glad to come and see you to explain how critical this situation is. The economy coupled with the flood has crippled us. W� do understand the problems of our nation and know the difficulties involved, but without your personal help all our efforts are in vain.

THE WHITE HOUSE
WASHINGTON
April 8, 1980
MEMORANDUM FOR THE PRESIDENT
FROM: STU EIZENSTAT
I believe that if we do not act promptly we could be on the road to having your anti-inflation effort go the way of the 1977 energy program in terms of �apturing the public's interest and attention, despite the excellent efforts of Anne Wexler and Al McDonald to schedule events with your participation. As important as these events are, alone they will not ensure the type of press and public attention necessary to continue the focus of the public on your efforts to deal with the inflation problems this country faces.
Therefore, I suggest -- either in Washington or outside -- a series of speeches every two weeks or so on various aspects of the inflation problems and what we are doing in each of these areas. These individual speeches would serve as educational devices in which you use the forum of the Presidency as the vehicle for the education of the electorate. Individual speeches could cover regulation, credit, productivity and savings, budget restraint, energy and wage-price restraint. In each of these areas you could talk about the long build-up which led to the current problems and the way in which you are proposing to solve them.
President Nixon made very effective use of radio for some of
) his speeches. I propose that you could give many of these speeches on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon on the radio. I believe this would capture the public's imagination and would give you a chance to explain in some detail why your new inflation program is an effective answer to our problems. The American people desperately need to be educated on this subject and to believe in your program. Nothing could be more important to the solution of this problem than embarking on such an effort.
If you react favorably to such a series of speeches I would work with Secretary Miller, Charlie Schultze, Fred Kahn, Jody and the speechwriters to develop this idea. Anne Wexler and Al could fold it into the steps they are taking. Indeed, it would be fine with me for them to follow through on this suggestion if you approve it.

SUBJECT: Cardinal Cooke
To follow up on our conversation at lunch today, I think it would be an excellent idea for you to invite Cardinal Cooke to meet with you at the White House in the near future.
I tt,Ll {)A J.tt-fi"71 I think the Cardinal could be very helpful to us in New ��1 � York. He invited me to meet with him last. Sunday, which
�� a/�1 � obviously was a signal that he prefers you over Kennedy 1 fc_(J111-lcl __.rl 1 si�ce the meeting took place so close to the New York
(;(Jl a_kf -,v pr1mary.
��u���£1 He will use the occasion to formally invite you to speak
P at the annual Alfred E. Smith Memorial Dinner in New York next October--just before the Presidential election. This could be an important non-political campaign appear�nce for you.
The principal points he raised with me, in addition to the Alfred E. Smith Dinner, were:
--AID funds for Catholic Relief Services in Lebanon: Last August, AID granted an additional $5 million (over the $1.6 million granted in FY 77 and 78) to finance a program to repair and rehabilitate health, educational and social services in Lebanon. Last month, AID approved a Catholic Relief Services plan for rehabilitating a Muslim school, a Catholic home for the aged and a non-denominational school for the blind.
--u.s. and international assistance to Indochina refugees.
--Tax credits for parochial schools.
--Alcoholism and narcotics abuse: he is very concerned about these problems, particularly among the young, and would like you to address them during the campaign.

MEMORANDUM TO THE PRES I DENT
FROM: THE VICE PRESIDENT
SUBJECT: NATIONAL COUNCIL OF THE ARTS
The other day I discussed with you the matter of the proposed appointments for membership on the National Council of the Arts. As I understand the situation, it is as follows:
These appointments are for the purpose of filling vacancies that have existed since November of last year. Many of them are for a year only and most of the year has almost expired. Joan became concerned about the delays in filling these appointments and urged immediate action. Consultations occurred with all of your advisers and the names were sent in for your approval.
Joan was then advised that they had been approved by you and was asked if she would call these nominees to see if they would accept the appointment. All of them accepted.
Following those calls, it was determined that you had not approved the list and that you felt it failed to be sufficiently representative from a geographic stand point.
In my opinion there is no way that we can now withdraw some of the invitations to serve on the Council extended by Joan without embarrassing Joan and undermining her ability to work with the arts community; also embarrassing you in the arts community as well, since all of these people are leaders in their specialty, and most of them are publicly supporting you.
I understand your point about balance and I recommend that we make certain that from here on out these nominations do reflect your concerns about geographical balance and the rest, and that the staff arrangements be tightened up so we don't get into this embarrassing situation in the future.

AUDIO TAPING BY THE PRESIDENT
REMARKS ON SUNDAY SCHOOL FOR BOARD OF DISCIPLESHIP
UNITED METHODIST CHURCH
For as long as I can remember, Sunday School has been part of
my life. As a youngster in Plains I can remember my mother and
father, brother and sisters all going to the Plains Baptist Church,
first for Bible study, then remaining for the worship service.
I am grateful for Sunday School teachers like Mrs. Jennings,
Mrs. Sproull, Mrs. Willimans, Clarence Dodson and others who,
through the years, invested their study, time and Christian
experience in me. I pray that I can faithfully reflect them and
others like them in my daily life.
Though my teachers and leaders were not perfect, they nonetheless
conveyed to me a sense of God's love and acceptance. These dedicated
people instilled in me Christ's call to love all of God's children
and to be especially concerned about those in need. Caring for
God's people will always be a goal to strive for.
Sunday School has remained an important part of my life ever since ...
at Annapolis, in the Navy, after my family and I moved back to Plains,
during my years as Governor of Georgia, and now, during my Presidency.
!Eh�ctroiltaftRc Copy M:rJde
�OIT fi'&S®lfVari:�®ll'D fUfJSOHSi
It is clear to me that the profound decisions made in this office
often find their roots in my Sunday School experience. Many times,
at just the right moment, a verse I learned in Sunday School, a
discussion I had in class, a thought I had while studying have a
way of leaping to my consciousness, providing extra strength, in
spiration and guidance. I thank the Lord for those threads of memory
that enrich my life and undergird me in my service as President.
Through the years I have felt a responsibility to use my talents to
teach Sunday School. My life has been blessed as I have studied the
Bible, reflected on the various curriculum materials and taught young
people and adults. It is true that the teacher gets more from the
lesson than the students.
I urge faithful church school teachers and leaders to persist in
their efforts. I commend denominational educators as they promote
religious instruction in general and Sunday School work in particular.
I encourage the families of our nation to engage in regular religious
instruction in the various churches and synagogues of America.
Individually, as families and as a nation we are all better as we
participate in Sunday School.
Thank you and God bless you.

MEMORANDUM FOR THE PRESIDENT
FROM:
SUBJECT:
JACK WATSON
Meeting w' Chairmen of 1980 Savings Bond Campaign 9:00 am, e nesday, April 9, 1980, The Oval Office
te Rose, Honorary Chairman Secretary Harold Brown, Interagency Chairman
Purpose. The purpose of this brief meeting is to thank Pete Rose for his service as 1980 Chairman of the Savings Bond Campaign. Immediately following your meeting, he will be going to the Departmental Auditorium for the Kick-Off Rally with 2000 federal employees.
Participants. Secretary Brown, the Interagency Chairman, and Azie Taylor Morton, Treasurer of the United States, will also attend. Also present but not in the photographs will be Pete Rose's son, Pete, Jr.
Press. There will be a photo opportunity.with AP and UPI only.
Background. The goal of the Interagency Committee this year is to complete the transition to Series EE efficiently and to keep up the good record of employee participation in the program. As you know, the $25 bond has been eliminated and the redemption time limit has been extended from 60 days to six months; these efforts could save taxpayers as much as $4.7 million in 1980 and $33.8 million in the next five year period. Savings bonds are the most widely held security in the country; one in every three families has bonds. Total bond sales in 1979 were $7 billion. On the federal side, about half of all civilian federal employees participated in the bond program last year, and over 500,000 volunteered in the bond campaign.
Pete Rose is first baseman for the Philadelphia Phillies baseball team. He was with the Cincinnati Reds for 16 years before going to Philadelphia. He is 38, divorced and the father of two children. He is very versatile and gets better every year--in 1979 he had the longest hitting streak (23 games) of any player, and was named National League Player of the Decade last year.

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS
During the period of March 26 through �larch 31, 1980, severe storms and flooding impacted the eastern Louisiana Parishes of Washington, East Baton Rouge and St. Tammany. One fatality is known but no injuries were reported. The Governor has requested Individual Assistance only for St. Tammany Parish.
INDIVIDUAL ASSISTANCE
o 250 homes had major damage while approximately 200 had minor damage. The majority of the homes with major damages are owned by low to low/middle income families, and had up to four feet of water inside. This area is still under water and isolated.
o 500 families were affected by the flooding. About 200 will require Temporary Housing assistance. The State is willing to administer this program.
o The Individual and Family Grant (IFG) Program expects 200 applicants at a cost of $300,000 with an additional $200,000 cost estimated for the Limited Horne Repair (LHR) Program. The total program costs would be $500,000, with the Federal share at $375�000 and the State share at $125,000.
o Approximately 150 applicants for Small Business Administration (SBA) disaster loans for homes/personal property are expected at an estimated cost of $2,000,000. SBA officials advise that many potential loan applicants will be unable to qualify for SBA loans due to assistance provided last year and the applicants inability to handle a third note repayment. (Some homes are in the $100,000 -$150,000 class and heavily mortgaged.)
o Of the 25 businesses affected, approximately 15 suffered major damage. Some of the businesses may be out of operation for several weeks. SBA believes all w�uld be eligible loan applicants. The total SBA disaster loans for businesses is estimated at $600,000.
o Due to businesses being out of operation, there is a potential need for the Disaster Unemployment Assistance Program. An estimated 50 applicants, over a period of two to four weeks, would produce a program cost of $10,000.
o The agricultural damage has been minimal in outly ing areas. As such, the extent of United States Department of Agriculture's Farmers Home Administration and Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service programs would be limited.
o Probably 40 percent of the homes were insured. However, many of these were under-insured. About half of the businesses affected were insured.
PU B LIC ASS I STA N CE
The Governor has not requested any Public Assistance.· Cost of restoration is being assu med by the State. The total for Public Assistance is estimated at $200,000 and has been included as part of the commitment of State and local resources.
CONCLUSIONS
o The commitment of the State and local governments is reasonable.
o The unmet needs for Individual Assistance, especially temporary housing, are beyond the capabilities of the State and local governments.
o The situation warrants a major disaster declaration.
THE WHITE HOUS.E
WASHINGTON
Dear Mr. r1acy:
I have determined that the damage in certain areas of the ·state of Louisiana resulting from severe storms and flooding which to ok place March 26 through March 31, 1980, is of sufficient severity and magnitude to warrant a major-disaster declaration under Public Law 93-288. I therefore declare that such a major disaster exists in the State of Louisiana.
In order to provide Federal assistance, you are hereby authorized to allocate, from funds available for these purposes, such amounts as you find necessary for Federal disaster assistance and administrative expenses.
I expect regular reports on progress made in meeting the effects of this major disaster, the extent of Federal assistance already made available and a projection of ad ditional assistance required, if any.
